This place is magical. I felt as if I was on vacation in Italy. The bar is a tucked away grotto with fun cocktails. My zuppa di pesce was outstanding. I added a small batch of house made linguine - brilliant idea.And what a treat to have complimentary valet, I felt so pampered. The whole dining experience was special. This place is a gem.Parking: Complimentary valet and very attentive.

We just celebrated my friend's wedding and we loved how attentive and accommodating the staff was. Brandon was the lead server and he was excellent. The ceremony was in the beautifully manicured garden followed by a scrumptious dinner in a very romantic setting. Highly recommended!

Have had the pleasure of making wonderful memories here for decades. Still the best Italian food in central Florida! The Antipasto is always amazing and the Penne Vodka is the best I have ever had.

I have visited this establishment 3 times over 10 years. They are arrogant at front desk. Reservations at 5 and you have to sit in waiting room till exactly 5:02 to get table. Way over priced for what you get. You feel pressured to get in and out. Rushed. Shrimp was not good and veil was sub par.

Food was excellent. I had a pasta and seafood dish and my partner had raviolis. Both were well prepared and tasty. Service was impeccable. Server was extremely polite and followed up without being too anxious. Wonderful view of the lake and  valet parking was extremely simple. Overall, a fantastic anniversary dinner.

I believe this establishment is under new management since the last time I was there. I requested a corner table, this was a very special Occasion, months in advance. Upon our arrival we were given a table at the bottom of a staircase in the middle of the room. I asked for the manager, she said we could have broken table by bathroom entrance. Turns out she was not the manager at all. There were several tables open but she would not accommodate our request. Food prices were high for small portions. Quality of food was mediocre at best. Brandon our server and helper were both awesome. I spoke to the manager a few days later , basically she was sorry I was disappointed but mostly made excuses for the rude hostess that lied twice to us, and had no explanation as to why they could not honor my request made months earlier. It was not worth the consideration of a return for us. Mostly because of the dinners, nothing special and lack of customer service. I have listed numerous restaurants that are worth revisiting. I would not recommend this one.

From the outside wall off Highway 17-92 you would not expect this hidden gem of a restaurant to exist. Once you enter, you see the front facade as well as the valet parking attendant. The restaurant is not very large inside. Although a small room for parties and bar is present as well as a gorgeous area out back that leads to a covered dock. There are small areas to sit and they have live music on the weekends. We went on a Tuesday and the restaurant was full! Their menu is amazing. We truly would love to try everything on it. They have a nice wine and champagne selection. My wife had a Bellini and I tried the house Rosé. Both were excellent. Our waiter was not Italian, but from Albania and had extensive knowledge of the Southern Italian regions. He offered the daily specials; all sounded amazing, but we decided to go off the menu. We had the Grilled shrimp, and the Veal Scallopine. Great presentation, and the flavors were delicate, so a person with a refined pallete can distinguish what message the Chef was trying to convey in his food. The buttery flavor of the Broccolini, the grill flavor on the shrimp, and the smokey flavor of the Mozzarella in the Risotto, all shined through. We did not have any dessert, but saw a couple being delivered to another table and they looked fantastic. They did give us a plate of complimentary fresh ginger cookies and almond cake balls coated in powdered sugar. Light and refreshing. A great finish. We will be going back again!

As always, a wonderful experience. Food and service was excellent. It was a Friday lunch and all tables were full. At least 3 tables were celebrating birthdays so it was extremely noisy. I guess that was a good thing.

We are so thankful the new owners of this Central Florida gem have maintained the outstanding quality of the food and the excellence of the service. Enzo's is still our overall number one favorite restaurant in Central Florida for 25 years.

We found the place almost by accident. After a day at the springs everyone wanted Italian and I picked the highest rated place within 15 minutes, without reading any more details, and ended up at Enzo’s. After valet parking and getting seated immediately with an amazing view of the lake I realized we may be a bit underdressed and was worried it might not be the best place for our two kids, but everything was absolutely amazing. The Service and food was perfect and they were very accommodating with meals for the kids. There was nothing bad I could say about the experience besides it was hard to pick between the menu options because everything sounded great.Kid-friendliness: The staff was 100% accommodating for our kids. There is no kid’s menu, and though everything on the menu sounded great to me there was much that sounded like it would appeal to an 8 year old, but the kitchen had no problem making portioned sizes of spaghetti and meatballs for them.

Food was mediocre at best, and overpriced for quality. Service was very good, and atmosphere was great. Hostess told us to wait outside and she'd text us. 35 minutes later we asked when our table would be ready and she said she sat someone else for our reservation. She got us another table, but had a poor attitude. Disappointed about food especially because we were really looking forward to eating here.

The restaurant has always had a good reputation, however we have been there twice in the last 6 months and find it lacking. Some dishes are more tasty than others. Portions are generous, but not exceptional. The bread is delicious and the cookies are a very nice touch.
